The video explains the wave-particle duality of electrons using an analogy of a speck of dust in a raindrop. Initially, the speck's position is known, but as the raindrop hits the ground, it spreads like a wave, guiding the speck. The wave function determines the probability of finding the speck in a specific location. The video concludes by highlighting the complexity of understanding wave movements.
